The fake punt was darn obvious. Seems like a far higher probability of success
...to throw to the TE or almost anything else on 4th and 2. Without deception that play will never work. It's wildcat 2.0. Especially when they called the time out, no reason to call a time out unless your faking there.

This call seemed desperate to me. More about our short yardage issues which is BS.
U want to go for it, get a back or TE in the flat open on a rub route.
Yeah, if Love is on the field for a punt
then there's a good chance it's not going to be a punt.
This is what we're going to do. Now stop us.
BC stopped it.
Like I said, this fake was a message job to the "O". You can't get the 1st down so we'll try this.
Saturday was a win by better players. Not by strategy, creativity, effort, or coaching IMHO. Going through the motions may be too strong a statement. Problem is that poor tackling, Red Zone woes, slow starts, kicking, and short yardage issues are not getting fixed. I'm thinking we have to live with all this for the season. One thing we can't live with is turning the ball over in the Red Zone , especially near the goal line.
